College is not a trade school. Wish I had been more open to exploring different courses.
I wish I knew sooner about department pages with profiles of professors and courses. Pages make it easier to research classes.
Class is not optional—don’t get caught up in the

Lots of free time – use it wisely.
Library tour! including good places to study and where the outlets are located
You need to be on your toes all the time.
I loved my Freshman Fellow—lots of people don’t realize you can just go ask her.
